    100 Marathons in 100 Days Across India | Hannah Cox and Project Salt Run

    What happens when someone who only started running a year ago decides to run 100 marathons in 100 days? In this episode of the UKRunChat Podcast, Michelle speaks with Hannah Cox, the founder of the Better Business Network and the woman behind Project Salt Run — a world-first endurance challenge running the length of India’s historic Inland Customs Line. Over 100 days Hannah covered 4,224 kilometres, completing 75 marathons and 23 ultramarathons across 11 Indian states. But this story isn’t about elite performance. It’s about perseverance, purpose, and people power. Running through extreme heat, pollution, illness and injury, Hannah and her small support team followed a forgotten colonial boundary once used to enforce the salt tax — transforming it into a route of connection, community and climate action. Along the way they were welcomed into homes, fed by strangers, and supported by a growing global community of people who believed in the mission. Project Salt Run has already raised £90,000 for charities working for people and the planet, with a long-term goal of raising £1 million. In this episode we talk about: How Hannah went from beginner runner to 100 marathons The story behind the historic Inland Customs Line The toughest physical and mental moments on the road The power of community and kindness Why ordinary people still have the power to create changeDonate to the campaignhttps://givestar.io/gs/project-salt-run Websitewww.projectsaltrun.com Follow the journeyInstagram / TikTok / Facebook: @projectsaltrun

    How Breathing Can Make You a Better Runner | David "Jacko" Jackson

    Breathing is something every runner does thousands of times on every run — yet it’s something most of us never think about. In this episode of the UKRunChat Podcast, Michelle speaks with breathing coach and former professional rugby player David 'Jacko' Jackson about how improving the way we breathe can impact running efficiency, mobility, and performance. After a serious brain injury ended his rugby career, Jacko began exploring breathing as a tool for improving brain health and regulating the nervous system. That journey eventually led him to become a Master Oxygen Advantage coach and write his new book, Breathe Smarter Run Stronger. In this conversation, we explore how breathing mechanics affect everything from running economy and perceived effort to hip mobility and race-day nerves. What We Cover Why breathing is often overlooked in running training The difference between how elite runners breathe vs amateur runners When nose breathing can improve running efficiency Why mouth breathing isn’t always the enemy The surprising connection between breathing mechanics and hip tightness Why tongue posture affects breathing and airway function How breathing rate affects perceived effort during a run Building carbon dioxide tolerance to improve endurance Using breathing strategies to stay relaxed during races Jacko’s ambitious Mission IN-possible challenge to run 200 marathons in 100 daysJacko’s book Breathe Smarter Run Stronger is available now.  Published March 12th 2026.

    Catherine & Pippa of Trail and Bloom: Reclaiming Running and Strength in Midlife

    In this episode of the UKRunChat Podcast, Michelle is joined by Catherine and Pippa, co-founders of Trail & Bloom, a trail running retreat designed to support women navigating midlife. Both share deeply personal journeys of how their relationships with movement evolved. From early experiences of feeling “not good enough” in sport, to running as punishment for eating, to rediscovering joy and confidence on the trails, this is an honest conversation about identity, body image, performance and self-worth. Catherine talks about how perimenopause, injury and life pressures left her questioning her place in running, and how trail running helped her reconnect with movement in a way that felt freeing rather than pressured. Pippa shares her path from disordered eating and overwhelm to becoming a GB age-group triathlete, and explains why midlife women need to understand their physiology — particularly the importance of maintaining muscle mass for long-term health, strength and confidence. Together, they discuss: Why so many women carry “baggage” into midlife running How trails can remove pressure and reintroduce joy The myths around weight loss, BMI and body composition Why strength training is essential (and how to approach it safely) How to rebuild confidence when performance plateaus What women really need in midlife: community, compassion and evidence-based guidanceThis episode is a powerful reminder that midlife can be a breakthrough, not a breaking point, and that running can still be joyful, empowering and deeply restorative at any age.
